Meet Willow
Willow is a sweet, sensitive young girl who is still finding her confidence after travelling from Kununurra. Although she can be unsure when meeting unfamiliar people or facing new situations, beneath that uncertainty is an affectionate, playful and social adolescent who simply needs time, patience and understanding.
One of Willow’s loveliest qualities is how much confidence she gains from other friendly dogs. Once she has a calm canine companion beside her, her playful personality shines through with joyful zoomies, play bows and soft social interactions. She would love a home with a friendly male dog who can help show her the world is a safe place.
Willow will thrive with adopters who understand that she’s still a puppy learning about life. With gentle guidance, ongoing positive training and plenty of opportunities to build confidence at her own pace, she has all the ingredients to become a wonderful lifelong companion.
How our Adoption Process Works
Step 1) Preparation
Read our Adoption Philosophy and make sure your views on dog ownership align with ours. Please read this entire page to make sure you are ready for adoption day.
Step 2) APPLY
Browse available dogs online, review our dog sociability matrix and then complete an adoption questionnaire.
Step 3) ADOPTION
7 DAYS A WEEK: Walk ins welcome for adoption interviews between 11am-3pm! Our gates remain open until 4pm, but we conclude our adoption interviews at 3pm so we have time to take the dogs out, feed them and get them ready for bedtime.
During quieter periods, we will also do our best to review online applications, but unfortunately cannot get back to every applicant, especially for more ‘popular’ dogs. If you agree with our adoption philosophies and are ready to adopt- please do not wait for us to contact you after submitting a questionnaire.
PUPPIES & DOGS IN FOSTER CARE: If you are particularly interested in a young puppy or a dog that is currently in foster care, please indicate this on your questionnaire. Young puppies will not be on site here at the Refuge as it is much more beneficial for them to remain in foster care until their adoption. For dogs and puppies that are not on site, we will review online applications and get in touch with suitable homes to arrange a meet and greet.
